When 911. mg of a certain molecular compound X are dissolved in 35.0 g of benzene (CH), the freezing point of the solution is measured to be 2.5 °C. Calculate the molar mass of X. If you need any additional information on benzene, use only what you find in the ALEKS Data resource. Also, be sure your answer has a unit symbol, and is rounded to the correct number of significant digits.

The Rast method uses camphor (C10H16O) as a solvent for determining the molar mass of a compound. When 2.50 g of cortisone acetate are dissolved in 50.00 g of camphor (k f =40.0C/m), the freezing point of the mixture is 173.44C; that of pure camphor is 178.40C. What is the molar mass of cortisone acetate?
Sodium chloride (NaCl) is commonly used to melt ice on roads during the winter. Calcium chloride (CaCl2) is sometimes used for this purpose too. Let us compare the effectiveness of equal masses of these two compounds in lowering the freezing point of water, by calculating the freezing point depression of solutions containing 200. g of each salt in 1.00 kg of water. (An advantage of CaCl2 is that it acts more quickly because it is hygroscopic, that is. it absorbs moisture from the air to give a solution and begin the process. A disadvantage is that this compound is more costly.)
